Get The Fab FOB @ The Music Never Stopped Project !!!
The FOB I've had for a year is finally availble from TMNSP site and it totally blows the SBD away! It is a MUST HAVE !!! It sounds like it's recorded dead center; fifteen rows back; four or five feet up; NO FLAWS - NONE - NADA - ZERO (except the usual cut in drumz); and complete with little or no loss of crowd between songs - only Loser's crowd applause is cut short. Wow-ee-Wow!
I've had the He's Gone > Gloria > CC Rider > Jam SBD for twenty-five years. And I know, now, why I didn't keep the rest of the show; and why I tossed The Archive download last month. Mixed high in the SBD, Jerry sounds awful... like post '85 awful . But this FOB is heavenly. Jerry is mixed just a little back (as well as Bobby), and it makes all the difference. The instruments are as crisp and clear as the SBD but, with a nice touch of reverb. Brent's "tinkle tinkle" is particularly prominent, which I always love. And the crowd ambience just adds to the fun. It almost sounds like a matrix. But they weren't doing that till the mid '80s.
Probably one of the best AUDs is Steinthal's 7.10.81 recording from behind the stage. At only fifteen feet from the stack, it is the Cadilac of recordings. This one is more distant; probably twice as far...but that is still only thirty feet. It is a shockingly good recording of an excellent, excellent show. One of the best AUDs I've ever heard! The Compendium lists an unspecified B- AUD source. Well, this ain't it folks. This is A++.

I listened to this show today. I cannot believe I attended this show 31 years ago. If I remember correctly tickete were rather hard to come by. I got one ticket the day before the show from a guy who advertised in The Philadelphia Daily News I paid an outrageous amount of money of for the ticket. It was the best 30 bucks I ever spent. IT sounded great live it sounded better here.a Thanks for the memories.

a bit overrated
I do think this show has some special moments and certainly a desire, but it really just doesn't seem as 'on' as so many others. But so many love this one (as do so many the cornell 77).

Simply Amazing
5 stars just for the CC Rider alone. Unreal interplay between Jerry and Brent, just LISTEN to him LAY on that organ. This is a jammin show for sure but that tune is flat out rock and roll complete with screaming guitar. A great example of the overwhelming force, the incredibly fat sound this band was capable of producing. Jerry's noodling on Rider, the doodle oodle oodle oodle oodle oodle oodle oodle ooo on up and down the scale is so very very pleasing and right on, a very funky jammy slow groove that feels so comfortable. The sound is great. One of my fave shows. My old cassette was either a bit fast or this is a bit slow. That's the only thing I notice.

Amazingly beautiful
Hello,
First timer here... I joined because I have been searching for YEARS for a tape I had back in high school in 1981. I was in a Dead cover band and our guitar player gave me a tape with the most amazing space jam I had ever heard the GD do.I remember the sound being so crisp and clear.. and the band was on FIRE! Well, through much work I figured out it was this show at Stanley Theater. I am unfamiliar with the etiquette of Grateful Dead tape trading or downloading... and I don't want to upset anybody by asking for something that is frowned upon (like I said, I don't know the rules). I would absolutely LOVE a copy of this concert but don't know how to go about getting one. Can anyone help me?
Thanks for your time and understanding...

Classic, smooth 79' show. Each year of the Dead has it's charms and 1979 features the jangly keyboards of Brent and a smooth round tone on Garcia's guitar...the vocals have a great blend during this era and I really love the overall sound when they're really on...
Anyhew, the show, enjoyable first set is filled with strongly played numbers. The second set features great versions of the China-Rider suite, vintage Looks Like Rain and a perfect He's Gone that is played with classic Dead groove interplay...C.C.Rider is given an enthusiatic workout and post drums features nice NFA followed by a one of the best Black Peters out there...

Some talk about uploading superior sources, but no back up as of yet. Why?
I see nothing wrong with this board of the first set. As suggeted, take the meaty second set from the other source and put the two together. Hey, call me crazy, but its a damn fine show as is. Sure, we'd all like perfect recordings of every show, but lets not be too greedy and lets not disparage a fine piece of work like this.
That said, it seems that the Sugaree file is corrupted. I downloaded the first set's SHN files song by song, and Sugaree cannot be burned or played. Tried it with the MP3's as well, same problem. Can't speak for the download of the full show. Just FYI.

not this one
The first set sounds terrific, check out the (cut) Jack Straw into a 17-minute Sugaree! A few more abrupt cuts. The 2nd set sounds like crap and low volume all of the way through, all of the high frequencies are missing. Get the 2nd set from the other sndbd source, it is the crispy one.

A Must Have!
This show happens to contain my favorite version of China>Rider of any era. The sound quality is good and the show has a laid-back mellow groove like many shows from this era. The seond set not only looks good on paper but is played with passion and spunk and should be part of everybody's GD collection! A must have!
